Language+and+Prejudice+Group+1

=**Language, Prejudice, and Society**=

Your group’s job is to create a page that explores the connection between language, prejudice, and society. The content and goal of your page will be determined by you. Your audience is your peers.

You can start with the following articles (perhaps divvy them up). Collaboratively edit the page by adding your individual thoughts, additional articles, questions and answers, etc. There is no "right" way to create the page. Let it evolve as you explore the content and the connections.
